Man that is horrible... dude turned out right in front of the guy. Is colorado a Helmet requirement state? I know Utah isnt anyone know?
I know someone that lives out in Denver and supposedly she says you don't have to wear a helmet out there...
No, we're not a helmet required state.
When you are on a bike claiming you have the right of way means little. Always assume you don't have it and that you will be encroached on by drivers whose excuse always is 'I just didn't see him'. The bike was going way too fast for his environment, he had the right of way, but so what? Slow down, ride doubly alert in traffic. Assume no one sees you, they probably don't.
Reading the article it says the speed of the bike was estimated at 45mph. That is not very fast.... It is a 4 lane road very possible he was doing the speed limit. How can anyone say it was the bikes fault? That's like saying that someone was murdered in a home invasion because they were home it was their fault they died.... The Cherokee pulled onto the road 100% Cherokee's fault.... Comes down to kid in Cherokee probably did a quick look to the left and didn't notice the bike and never looked left again and was only watching all the traffic to the right.... I also noticed that the rear tire is locked up from before the bike enters the frame. I would say he used rear brake only....
How can anyone say it was the bikes fault?
I hope they throw the book at the SUV driver. Anybody that leaves the scene of a collision they caused deserves to be made an example for others... especially a fatal wreck. Unfortunately, he sounds like a real dirt bag loser with a history of driving problems. It's unlikely the victim's family will be able to get much out of him in civil court.
